Do you enjoy a little bit of medieval in your life? If you are anything like me, then you love to see some good old steel vs. steel action. There is nothing that gets the blood pumping more than witnessing an epic sword fight. It is a thrill that, when well done in a movie, makes you sit on the absolute edge of your seat, even if you have seen the outcome before. So, here are some of the best sword-fighting movies out there. Even if you have seen them before, these movies are worth a second viewing.

#1 – Gladiator.

Gladiator is the epic tale of a man who lost everything, just because he was trying to do the right thing. A General in the kings army, the main character, (who is a legendary warrior and swordsman), is forced to stoop to the level of gladiator. In the ring, he wins the admiration of the public, and gets a second chance to avenge the wrongdoings of his past. This movie has all kinds of epic sword fighting action, and if you are into gladiators, then that makes this a double punch of awesome.
